About the World Series

You have learned something that tv fans have known for decades and that it is that TV executives are a bunch of pinheads.

First of all, the reason why the earlier rounds of the playoffs are played during the afternoon is because with multiple games, they are not going to show two games at the same time. Second, the last time a world series game was played in the afternoon was in 1987. I don't remember the reason why, probably due to rescheduling due to rain and with ABC covering the series, it conflicted with Monday night football(??) Third, outside of Miami and Cleveland, people don't really give two shits about the series, but for those of us who care about the sport of baseball, just try to live one whole week without the show. The people who watch the Must See Tuesday lineup aren't complaining as much as you all are, and the last time there was an episode of Fraiser or NewsRadio aired was at the earliest October 7th (2 pre-emptions). Finally, I don't see Major League Baseball, despite their stupidity in the promotion of the game, changing the traditional 2(travel day)-3(travel day)-2 set up because a bunch of people who watch a weekly show can't go a week without their favorite show. Baseball is played every day, it's not basketball, where they can schedule games on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays to maximize the viewership of NBC's shows. I will be happily sitting in front of my TV tonight, watching my Indians play the Marlins, and during the 9-9:30 period, I will probably have more laughs than I did watching the last two episodes of Seinfeld.

I'm sure Don Ohlmeyer will be absolutely crushed knowing he has fallen out of favor with [email]; otherwise known, quite simply, as Rich.

Dave,

Could you forward the message to him personally for me because it seems like you care so much about my postings. It makes me feel really loved in this newsgroup that you would take time to let the world know of my previously written disdain for the executives at the Peacock network.

Thanks in advance, Rich

<<>Usually the divisional seris are played during the day. World Seris

I was responding to an earlier post stating the games should be played in the afternoon. I agree that the games should be played at night so that people can enjoy the games after work.

I live in Maimi and will live with out watching the show.

Really, go take a look see at the alt.tv.mad about you board.

So will I

Go Marlins!!
